Grams and pounds both measure weight
Grams are metric and pounds are US/Imperial, but both measure the same thing: how heavy something is. That means the conversion is a fixed number — nothing else needs to be known about the item.
Kitchen scales often switch between the two. 500 g is roughly 1.1 lb, so half a kilo and a pound are close but not equal.
